Filename : ladytaker.zip
Description : This is the second of two missions.
: The first is Tales from the Cleft: Vandal

Briefing : The Hammers were responsible, in a way, for the whole ugly mess with the Hunters.
:
: I'm still pretty flush from that job, but it?s time for a little payback.
: Stealing the Mallet of Righteousness will really tick off the Hammers, and be lucrative as well.
: The Mallet isn?t all that valuable, but I know a collector of obscure Hammer artifacts
: who is both discrete and wealthy.
:
: The Mallet is enshrined in the Tomb of the Unknown Hammer in Upton,
: alongside what's left of the famous resident.
: You can?t miss the tomb, a huge, gaudy mausoleum at the edge of town,
: watched day and night by a band of fanatical Hammers.
:
: So, it won?t be easy. But, an old associate of mine, Fat Timmy, may have a way to get me in.
: I'm to meet Fat Timmy over a pint at his favorite hangout, the Bloated Burrick.
:
: And it couldn't hurt to pick up a few trinkets along the way

=============================================================
* Cautions & Caveats *

There are a few puzzles here, and a few secrets.
Readables that are merely decorative are also mercifully short.

Some areas in Upton that are not open at first can be reached later in the mission.
Also, some secrets might become more difficult to find as objectives are completed.

Be careful with saves. If you save while 'things are happening', you will very likely break the mission
and have to revert to an earlier save - if you have one. You have been warned.

The movies use the DIVX codec.
